were they purchased to fix things up, or the old components from already fixed issues!!

does anyone know where i can get replacement leather tabs for my seats? most of mine are cracked, broken or frail!

thanks again,
Tim

Don't ask why, just put them in the shed. They will come in handy one day.

It depends on how far afield you are travelling. For local travel I carry no spares except the spare wheel and fan belt. Further afield, a few items such as amalgamating tape, silicone gasket maker, electrical wire, spare engine oil, spare bulbs, brake fluid, points, coil, capacitor.

For a major trip, especially to remote areas, I might add a selection of bolts and nuts, pair of rear half axles, a spare universal, an extra spare wheel, EP90, clutch and brake hydraulic overhaul kits, hub seal, bars leaks.

But mainly do not leave home with dubious parts - if any doubt about , for example, radiator hoses, replace them. The system does not stress them that much, they won't fail unless in really bad shape. Basically, "know your vehicle".

I suspect the easiest solution will be to take a sample to a saddler.
